PATIENTS
I
DURING

Mr.
Dibb
presented
a
series
oi
operational
statistics
that
revealed
a-decided
drop
ln
the.
number
of
patients
last
year
as
compared
with
1945.
Rising
costs
of
medical,
surgical
supplies,
foodstuffs
and
higher
salaries
boosted
operating
costs
from
$4.43
per
day
in
1945
to
$5.37
prr
day
in
1946.
"To
offset
these
Increases
we
were
forced
to
raise
our
rates
l0
cents
a
day."
Mr.
Dibb
said.
"This
was
done
only
after
a
great
deal
of
consideration
and
after
comparison
with
hospital
rates
elsewhere
In
the
province.''
Closing
of
the
ground

last
April
resulted
in
a
loss

The

Information
that

was
'
able
to
give
in

was
a
notice
in
Jessen's

Fairbanks,
stating
that
"Prince

was
expecting
to
use
the
Haines
cut-off
this
coining

for
the

of

also
stating
that
"bonded

would

from

to

thence
over
the

The

letter
added!
"We
understand
that
the

will
be
open
again
this

to

that
